ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਚਲਣਾ ਇਕਤੁ ਖਡੁ ਸਹੰਸ ਸਮਾਏ।

Guramukhi Maaragi Chalanaa Ikatu Khadu Sahans Samaaay |

They follow the path of gurmukhs and due to their broad mindedness they live in thousands, in a small hole.

ਘਿਅ ਸਕਰ ਦੀ ਵਾਸ ਲੈ ਜਿਥੈ ਧਰੀ ਤਿਥੈ ਚਲਿ ਜਾਏ।

Ghia Sakar Dee Vaasu Lai Jidai Dharee Tidai Chali Jaaay |

Only by smelling ghee and sugar, they reach the place where these things are kept (gurmukhs also search out he holy congregations).

ਡੁਲੈ ਖੰਡੁ ਜੁ ਰੇਤ ਵਿਚਿ ਖੰਡੂ ਦਾਣਾ ਚੁਣਿ ਚੁਣਿ ਖਾਏ।

Dulai Khandu Ju Raytu Vichi Khandoo Daanaa Chuni Chuni Khaaay |

They pick up the sugar bits scattered in sand similarly as a gurmukh cherishes the virtues.

ਭ੍ਰਿੰਗੀ ਦੇ ਭੈ ਜਾਇ ਮਰਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਭ੍ਰਿੰਗੀ ਮਾਰਿ ਜੀਵਾਏ।

Bhringee Day Bhai Jaai Mari Hovai Bhringee Maari Jeevaaay |

Dying of the fear of worm bhringi the ant itself becomes bhringi and makes others also like itself.

ਅੰਡਾ ਕਛੂ ਕੂੰਜ ਦਾ ਆਸਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਨਿਰਾਸੁ ਵਲਾਏ।

Andaa Kachhoo Koonj Daa Aasaa Vichi Niraasu Valaaay |

Like the eggs of heron and tortoise, it (ant) remains detached amidst hopes.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗੁਰਸਿਖੁ ਸੁਖ ਫਲ ਪਾਏ ॥੮॥

Guramukhi Gurasikhu Sukh Fal Paaay ||8 ||

Similarly gurmukhs also getting educated attain the pleasure fruits.
